Howie Mathews dared to dream of competing in this year’s $300,000 Gr.3 NZCIS Wellington Cup (3200m) with Weneedashock, but the talented gelding has ended up qualifying for a race on the undercard worth $50,000 more in prizemoney.
Howie Mathews has always held Weneedashock and Free Spirit in high regard, and his faith was rewarded when the pair stylishly quinellaed the McVerry Crawford 1700 at Awapuni’s synthetic meeting on Friday.
